The role of the governing board is strategic, its key functions are to:

• set the aims and objectives for the school
• set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives
• set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives
• monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives
• be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher (a critical friend)

The Governors are unpaid volunteers who devote a great deal of time to Millfield School.  We are grateful to them for everything they do to help improve our school.  As Millfield is part of the Cadmus Family of Schools, the Headteacher and Millfield Chair of Governors sit on Cadmus Governing Board.  All strategic decisions affecting Millfield Primary School are delegated to Millfield Primary Governing Board.
